Radiator Restoration

[John Hames]

I need my 66 radiator repaired/restored. The outer tanks are good, but the core has been damaged by the fan when it was in an accident. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Radiator Restoration

You likley need to see DeWitts for a reoroduction replacement. Neither the center core nor the technology to bond it to the end tanks is available in the "repair" market

Is this the same for a 66 427/390 radiator?

Re: Radiator Restoration

427/390 is a copper radiator and thus can be recored. My answere Assumed a smallblock (you know what that means...)

I understand DeWitt's now has correct cores and brackets to re-core copper/brass BB radiators, but not the complete radiator (yet).

Re: Radiator Restoration

Bill, Thanks for the info.
It's a 425/427 car. I should have stated that in my first post. I have not investigated DeWitts yet, but will talk with them. I was curious on which way to go because I saw a restored radiator on ebay that was completely restored and it went for 1500.00. WOW!! I was hoping having a core the overall cost would be less.
